Joel Embiid
Philadelphia 76ers · C
Injury risk score: 87/100 (High).
Current status: not on today’s NBA injury report.
Why Joel Embiid’s risk score is 87
- Injury History (+60): 46 recorded injury events, 27 in the past 18 months, 9 severe
- Non-Injury Absences (context only): Missed games for illness/personal reasons in the past 18 months: ~4 (not counted toward risk score)
- Age Risk (+6): Moderate age adjustment (32)
- Position Load (context only): C with 33 lower-body injury event(s) (context only, not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+22): Knee has been the site of 14 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Return to Play (-1): 8 healthy games since returning from his injury — each 5 lowers the score a little (up to 8 points) during the first year back
- Contract Year (×0.90): Not yet in a contract year (star-tier contract) — already secure enough that preservation instinct dominates
The injury risk score (0–100) is built from a player’s injury history — how often, how recently and how seriously he has been hurt — plus a body part that keeps failing, age, a recent return from injury, and his contract situation. 70+ is High risk, 40–69 Medium, under 40 Low.
